[Demovictory9]

said cop died "for probably doing his job incorrectly". YIKES

NEW YORK — A woman who called it “ridiculous” that New York City streets were closed during fallen New York Police Department Officer Jason Rivera’s funeral has been fired by a theater and film production company after her tirade went viral.

Actress Jacqueline Guzman is “no longer a member” of Face to Face Films, the company announced, citing her “insensitive video.”

1. It did look like a bit much!

[hlthe2b]

2. You are agreeing with her? I find her attitude and comments disgusting...

Your seeming agreement with her makes me wonder...

[Emile]

3. In an era of a deadly pandemic I think you are being judgemental in

who I might be agreeing with!

[hlthe2b]

4. Are you kidding me? This isn't about the pandemic. It is about your disgust for fallen officers.

When police abuse their authority I call them out. When they are murdered trying to intercede in deadly domestic violence, I show them the respect they deserve. Too bad some have no compassion nor appreciation for others' loss.

[Emile]

6. Where in the hell did I express disgust for a fallen officer? Why the personal attack?

Just the other day I posted how the young wife of the fallen officer gave a heart breaking emotional eulogy.

9. It? Your post is unclear and can be taken either way. My first reading

was the same as hitthe2b. Maybe change "it" to she.

[Emile]

10. Well thank goodness you weren't judgemental enough to

personally attack me too!

[boston bean]

40. "It" was your issue. Very confusing. And your follow on posts were confusing as well.

You made it seemed like you agreed with the actress because they shouldn’t have gathered like that during a pandemic.

Still am not sure of your meaning.

[Tickle]

5. Good 👍

I wish they could lock her up

[atreides1]

8. For what?

Having an unpopular opinion?

Talk about crossing over to the other side, just because you disagree with someone!!!

Who else do you think should be put in jail, because you don't like what they said???

[Tickle]

15. I was being sarcastic and

apologize for not putting that in.

[obamanut2012]

11. Why should she be locked up?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

12. Thank god for the 1st Amendment.

A private company firing her for her disgusting remarks is appropriate but wishing her to be locked up for her comments is highly inappropriate.

31. It is very common here to call for arrest when people express unpopular opinions

The threads about the nazi's marching in Florida proved that yesterday.

[tenderfoot]

32. Yes, they're the REAL Fascists

Welcome back to DU



You're trying way too hard

[demmiblue]

14. Shoo. n/t

[BlackSkimmer]

16. Lock her up?

Seriously?

[Tickle]

17. no I was being sarcastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Raine]

7. Good, looks like karma bit her in the butt. 👍 nt

[area51]

18. "doing his job incorrectly"?

Sounds like a Trumper.

[BlackSkimmer]

19. She has to be a special kind of tone deaf to have actuallymade a video complaining about a funeral.

[Celerity]

28. She is a first gen Cuban from Hialeah, in Miami-Dade County, so it is a possibility

All but 2 precincts there (out of around 50) voted Trump in 2020, many by huge, crushing margins.

[shrike3]

20. Haven't people figured out yet that when they put something on the Internet, a lot of people see it?

And they might get in trouble?

[RobinA]

24. Apparently Not

people have been getting into trouble for this for how long now? It's like nude pictures sent to "friends."

[shrike3]

36. Yep

[greenjar_01]

21. One might even say...CANCELLED

Oooooof.

[madville]

22. Good

Don't need people thinking that kind of rhetoric is acceptable.

[inthewind21]

23. Well...

That ship sailed long ago.

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Sounds like a person one level above unknown becoming infamous and soon to be unknown again

See ya around campus, Jackie.

[sarisataka]

26. What a difference two days can make nt

[edhopper]

27. I could see myself saying something like this

in private, as gallows humor. But to make it public is sheer stupidity.
To me there is a big difference between saying something off color in private or in public.

[tenderfoot]

29. A lot of PRO-AUTHORITARIANS love this

[Sympthsical]

30. What did you expect?

Once job loss was an acceptable if not desirable outcome of disapproval by a social media mob, these are the results.

Live by social media, die by social media.

Oh well.

[tenderfoot]

33. Boy, they snared one BIG fish!

Who is she again?

[Sympthsical]

35. Who are half the randos who get creamed on Facebook?

"This random accountant from Flippy Co. posted something shitty. E-mail Flippy Co. now!!!!"

"We here at Flippy Co. do not share the values expressed by Bill when he was six beers into his evening. He is no longer with the company."

"We did it, everyone! We. Are. Awesome. We struck a blow for social justice! There will be mighty statues to our towering achievement here today!"

I think people have lost it, but I know I'm in the minority on this score. Slacktivism. It's like doing something!

But, you know, not.

[Bonx]

34. I'll take 'Consequences' for $200

[Dorian Gray]

38. People

need to learn not to put every single thought on social media.

Look, I'm sure people were annoyed about street closures. This is NYC, after all.

But the reality is that most people in NYC were shocked by the deaths of Officers Rivera and Mora. They entered into a domestic dispute that should have been an easy one to handle. Warning and out.

It's indicative of the rise of perceived violence in NYC. And it puts into view that while cops aren't perfect, they DO put their lives on the line in their jobs.

If you don't like something, rant to a friend or a spouse or a parent. Don't put it online. We all have selfish moments. But you DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A VIDEO OF YOURSELF COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FUNERAL OF FALLEN POLICE OFFICERS.

41. Well said.
